Hello all,

It never fails,just when you think your car is running good,something
pops up.My 82 244 DL with B21F LH-1 electronic fuel injection is jumping up
in idle speed intermittantly.Not sure of exactly how much ,but I'm guessing
between 2 and 2.5 k RPMs. Notice it mostly after a drive of 15 mins or more
and when I stop in my parking spot,put it in park the idle races.I can usually
kick it down,but it will creep back up again if I leave it running.
Tonight it was surging,varying up and down.Any thoughts??Help?? Ideas??
Problem only seems to be when idling...Thanks in advance...
